^^Gotta say, of all the things here to be remotely surprised about - it was the simple fact that the frog did not go directly through him. He was made of mud, wasn’t he? No, no maybe it was a hard clay that looked like mud, and that when it rained, he turned into mud?

Amata did not have much time to think as she found that she was suddenly knocked over with a knick to the face. Shockingly, that was all that there was, and Amata debated if she wanted to truly challenge him or not - but he was much bigger than Grumble would ever be, and there was no way she could truly win.

And getting herself killed for nothing wasn’t the way out that she wanted. No, no, she fancied something far more exciting.

So Amata scoffed, shook out her coat, and went to pick up the frog and continue dissecting the thing.

A real challenge would come soon, but not when Amata was unprepared and untrained.

^^The mud monster thought he was delivering a threat by cutting her off from the food supply, but the joke was on him, then, wasn’t it? Did he not notice the lack of Grumbutt’s scent in the area, or that Amata might have been a little more skinny than average?

Amata barely responded to him, as though she had debated against it, until she slowly brought her eyes to meet his; if he considered this a challenge, then so be it - but he was uneducated. He saw the frog as an assault and not that Amata was trying to show him that she could open things up and look at their insides. It was heartbreakingly depressing, actually, because Amata had been quite proudful of it.

So she sighed and looked around. Not because she didn’t know how to answer him, but in hopes that he’d pick up the clues and look around, too. Her caretaker had abandoned her. She had hunted for herself for some time now, and all she really knew how to do was to dig a damn burrow in the ground.

“I already do, mate. ” Amata muttered with the lick of her lips as she nosed the frog towards him, offering it again, but not throwing it this time. “An’ if you wanna watch me dig an Amata sized hole in the ground, then I mean.. I can, but I’d rather learn more about opening things up and lookin’ at their insides.. ”

Amata mused with a shrug, slowly standing and walking away - though not to disrespect him, but to begin digging.

^^Amata did not need to say anything while she was sizing him up and determining if he was worth the time and effort. He was big and looked like he could shatter worlds beneath his feet with how heavy he seemed to be, and Amata figured that he could crush her, too, if she wasn’t careful.

He seemed to enjoy spitting threats into her direction, but not as much as he obviously enjoyed using that weight to push around others - and by others, that meant Amata. He gave no verbal warning, but he didn’t need to. He had used force once before and would do it again.

So when he lunged forward to eat up the distance between them, and stopping merely inches from his face, Amata acted. His face was here, in her face, and it was likely that Vennyboy didn’t know what that meant. He was very obviously offering his face in donation to whatever Amata was about to do to him.

He had made the mistake in pausing to allow her to react, and thus, also, teaching by example. He had given no verbal clues, silently teaching Amata by example, so when her attack on his face came, she too, would not give any warning.

Let's tango.

^^One did not simply attack the boss of a bully and expect to leave without a scratch. It was a risk worth taking, even if he was bigger and more toned with experience and muscle than she. Teeth found her backside, breaking flesh and causing her to bleed; a sensation that she really ought to get used to.

He picked her off of him and threw her aside as though she were an annoying piece of meat stuck between his teeth. She tumbled, rolling a few times as she hit the ground with a grunt, though she’d eventually stand, glaring up at him with hackles and tail raised in a defying dominant position as she made direct eye contact, muscles tense and baiting him to attack her with the slow wag of her tail.

^^There was a lesson to be learned from this - that lesson was, very obviously, that one should not try to fight or conquer larger enemies when going solo; this was very clearly a co-op mission, and Amata needed a partner.

She was coming to this realization as Venbby was launching his next attack towards her, right as she was standing back up and did not have time to do anything - so Amata did the only thing she could think of - which was, likely by far, the wisest move she could have done.

She plopped back to the ground and rolled over in submission.
